umr-bhar us ki nishani dekhiye
ishq kar yun jawedani dekhiye

yaad kije wo pari-chehra sada
aur har su raat-rani dekhiye

hijr ke mausam mein bhi gulzar hun
ye ghazab ki baghbani dekhiye

dhadkanen tasbih us ke nam ki
dil pe us ki hukmarani dekhiye

dard mehman hai magar jata nahin
aap meri mezbani dekhiye

aap hain jo ishq ke ahl-e-zaban
meri bhi kar tarjumani dekhiye

bebasi bechainiyan betabiyan
'ashna' ke sab maani dekhe
